[OPTION] Threaded view in mail app
asked 2013-12-24 18:14:50 +0300
Please implement the possibility to view email messages by conversation/thread in the stock mail app. I kinda expected this, should be default by now in any mail client.
N9 sometimes messed up threads, splitting conversation that shouldn't have been splitted etc. So copy but also improve. :P

Threading should be done both on In-Reply-To and if that is missing on Subject. That's how e.g. Kmail does it.

Those should not be threaded.

Close this quetion and merge the request at Enhancements of the email client?

Actually, given the limitations of the ListView, some means to make the initial list short is needed. One way is threading, if you have, say an average of 3 messages per thread, you get a list that is much shorter.
My preference when tapping on a "thread" item would be to open the message view, but with each message shown in chronological order, with all the messages that have been read collapsed by default.
